Description

The handling of user_data in digitalocean2 is unfortunately completely broken. The existing code assumes, that it is a string which contains a json_encoded map of key-value-pairs (containing both tags and user_data). This is wrong. According to their docs and easily verifyable, it is a SINGLE string which simply contains cloud-init data or a shell-script.
